Bondhu Bob 29.07.10

All those who have lived in Episkopi will have met Bondhu Bob...Wendy Raynor who works at BARC as well as being the dog warden on camp tells her story of how she has given Bob a home for life.

The dogs at BARC also have their 5 minutes of fame too!

Thank you EEG!!!

A HUGE thank you to all at the Episkopi Events Group for holding the recent pamper evening at the Kensington Mess. Daphne Reeve presented 140 euros which was raised on the night. A fantastic boost to BARC which will go a long way to help the cats and dogs in our care. Thanks all all involved and those who were pampered on the night helping to raise money for such a good cause.

World Cup fun at BARC

The sun was shining down on BARC this Saturday as the World Cup fun day took place. The morning was kicked off with Roary The Lion in his England football shirt to entertain kids and adults alike...he tried his luck at the penalty shoot out and did rather well for a Lion! There were plenty of stalls to keep visitors occupied and and lots of footy themed games to get involved with.

CJPU very kindly opened their bar for visitors on the day which was very much appreciated. A super raffle with wonderful prizes rounded off the day.

The staff and volunteers all worked really hard to make the day a success and a total of 700 euros was raised, which will all go towards looking after the many Cats and Dogs at BARC.

A huge thank you to all that helped and attented on the day...let's hope the next event is an even bigger success!

BARC Dance Party & Caberet was a HUGE success!!!

Thanks to all those who took part to make this night such a memorable one!

Brian Smith is moving back to the UK after being a volunteer at BARC for many years. He very kindly organised the night along with The Island Blend and Dj Dave provided the wonderful entertainment. A total of 1400 euros was raised from ticket sales and a raffle and the money is being split between BARC and The Alfie Fund.

The address to send such items to is Nowzad Dogs, PO Box 3495, Corsham, SN13 7AE.

Many paws make light work...

A huge thank you to all the wonderful volunteers that gave up their Saturday for a BARC spring clean. Everyone worked really hard and were all rewarded for their efforts with a delicious curry afterwards. We managed to get a lot done in short space of time thanks to everyone's hard work. Pictured here is Clare...taking time out to cuddle Trio, one of the many cats waiting for a loving home.
